Central Office of Corporate & Foundation Relations

The Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR) at the University of Pennsylvania serves as the central point of contact for corporations and foundations interested in supporting university research and programs. The Office is dedicated to establishing new relationships and enhancing existing relationships with a wide range of local, national, and international organizations.

Our focus is on identifying and engaging both prospective external partners and University leaders and faculty who have shared interests and complementary needs. Our expertise covers Penn’s teaching, research, and public service activities as well as knowledge of the University’s broader institutional needs for endowed faculty positions, student scholarship support, and capital needs. This knowledge enables our Office to direct prospective corporate and foundation partners to those opportunities best suited to their research and philanthropic objectives.
